How to Uninstall TeamViewer
TeamViewer is an application designed to give people the ability to remotely access another computer when given consent. The application is used by both private and business customers. Businesses can use TeamViewer to provide remote support to their customers, with the application allowing the support technician to assume full keyboard and mouse control over the remote device.
This sort of connection and technology obviously allows for much greater flexibility when it comes to solving more complicated issues where the user might feel inadequate and may be struggling to follow complex instructions from the support technician. Additionally, if you live 300 kilometers away from your parents and their Windows sound driver breaks down, this functionality allows you to just sit down at your own computer and fix the issue remotely, once you're given access.
If you are one of those home users and would like to uninstall TeamViewer from your computer, this guide will give you a few short steps you can follow.
